Ew.

Sorry, I am just not a SPAM fan. :-P
Too salty and has a "gritty" texture that I just don't care for...
I'll also pass on the cilantro. It's barely bearable in salsa/picante
sauces.

I'll stick with the Rotel/Velveeta dip for corn chips. Leave it hot in a
small crock pot and you are good to go........

Or better yet, mom's clam dip which is fabulous on potato chips and
snack crackers.

1 10 oz. carton "real" sour cream
1 medium can chopped baby clams
1 tsp. fresh minced parsely
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried dill weed

Dump all ingredients into a bowl and mix well with a fork.
Serve with potato chips and wheat thins. Also makes a decent
dip for celery sticks and other veggies.

You can substitute canned shrimp for canned clams for a nice
shrimp dip.

Add about 1/2 the liquid from the cans, or more for a "wetter" dip
depending on your preference.

My favorite Sunday Snack (when I'm not dieting anyway) is the following:

Bean Nachos:

1 can ranch style pinto beans
1/2 cup shredded jack cheese
1 tsp. chile powder

Place beans into a blender and blend until smooth.
Mix shredded cheese in with a fork and add chile powder.

Dump onto a microwave save dish, (pyrex pie plates are ideal), top with
corn chips and shredded chedder/jack cheese. Nuke until all the cheese
is melted then top lightly with mild or medium Pace chunky picante sauce
and sour cream. Serve some guacamole' on the side if desired.

The bean and cheese by itself, heated gently, also makes a wonderful
hot bean dip.
